I particularly like the running boards and the trim strips for the side curtains. The engine bay and interior detail are clean and crisp and the paint is beautiful. Shooting your pics in the booth really catches the look of the shot you included of your 1:1 inspiration as well. Thanks! I’m still eyeing a few of of those Mercedes kits on eBay - will be using yours as inspiration! 16 hours ago, larman said: Beautiful work! Great colors and paint details!

Paint looks smooth and all the detailing finishes it off just right. I have this kit in my stash, glad to see a finished build of it. After I commented I looked at the pictures again and had to really look close to pick out the real car. 👍👍 thanks fellas! It’s a great kit - highly recommend grabbing one of you can. 1 hour ago, 70 Sting said: Excellent use of the ‘Realism’ filter in Photoshop. 😉 Your builds are top notch.👌 😂 thanks! 59 minutes ago, ismaelg said: Beautiful job!

Kenmojr Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 What a beautiful model. Love those Packards, Cadillacs, Lincolns, Auburns, Cords and Dusenbergs of this era... If it's too cold or wet outside, you could tune into a NY Rangers game as they look like legitimate contenders for the Stanley Cup this year.

Haha thanks - I’m a Boston sports fan but my friends loooove to constantly remind about them Rangers!

David G. Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Paint, finish, assembly, details, everything about it looks perfect! Even your photos are excellent. The match-up between the photos of the 1:1 and the finished model is spot-on. at first, I had a hard time seeing a difference between the two photos. David G.

Thanks guys!!! 3 hours ago, Pierre Rivard said: I had to take another look at your beautiful build. Can you share how you improved or refinished the chrome, it looks so good. Thanks! Few things going on with the chrome. All the trim around the interior and the side floor panels are bare metal foil with tamiya black panel wash. The headlight brace is aluminum tubing that I polished out. The rear bumper is brushed on molotow (had to scratch build it since my kit was missing it). The rest is kit chrome that I sanded and misted with tamiya smoke (the secret sauce) and then touched up with molotow. Then I hit the parts that needed it (like the wheels) with tamiya black panel wash. Hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
